Dear ikiwiki users, and specially [[users/KathrynAndersen]] ([[users/rubykat]]): have you considered some way of extending ikiwiki to allow some kind of on-the-fly generation of web forms to create new pages? these web forms should offer as many fields as one has defined in some [[page template|plugins/contrib/ftemplate]], and, once POSTed, should create a page using that template, with those fields already filled with the values the user provided.

I see this a a generalization of the postform option of the [[ikiwiki/directive/inline]] directive. That option tells ikiwiki to create a form with one field already filled (title).

What are your ideas about this?
